Following recent talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump in Washington, bilateral relations have entered a new phase, according to former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko.

In an interview, Prystaiko stated that Kyiv successfully shifted the US administration's stance on the war. He emphasized that Washington now recognizes that no agreement regarding Ukraine's future can be reached without Kyiv's consent. Prystaiko noted that Ukraine ceased to be the "lowest hanging fruit" for the US in geopolitical negotiations. Overall, he positively evaluated the outcome of Zelenskyy's visit to the United States.
